tonight is not the end of the world this is our hot tip of the evening oh well tonight we're going to be talking about trigonometric ratios and calini and meditation and music uh we're going to be doing three meditations tonight you'll be learning three meditation techniques uh to use the Kundalini and essentially uh what I'm going to be doing with those techniques is using the calini moving it through your subtle physical bodies to raise you into Altered States of attention while showing you how you can do that yourself tonight uh three of my friends and three of my students uh they're one and the same are going to be performing uh some live music as you see we have amplifiers we have speakers we have headphones we have all kinds of things and tonight we're going to have some live music uh for the meditations we'll be doing three meditations of approximately 10 minutes to an hour each about 10 minutes to 15 minutes each throughout the evening and uh so we'll have some music to meditate too I like to use music in group meditations because uh it's harder to hear the megaphones and this is something they teach you in the spiritual teacher training academy um in another world and so we'll have lots of music tonight lots of sound the Kundalini is music it's energy it's excitement it's power and in the back someone heard that word and they said power no not that kind of power power pure unadulterated power Limitless mindless power that's the cundalini the cond is the life force that is the essential energy of existence it's the hidden ingredient in life bless you it is what makes it all work so tonight we're going to be talking about meditation and Kundalini how many of you if any are new to meditation could you raise your hand please a few of few okay great good all right well then let's begin at the beginning that's usually a good place meditation why do you meditate I suppose it's different for everybody some people meditate because they need more energy and when you meditate of course you get a lot of energy a tremendous amount of energy some people meditate because they're sick and tired of their lives of the world of the way people abuse each other in this world and abgate each other's freedoms and essentially they want out sort of stop the Universe I want to get off they just feel that there there's more uh the life that we see on our small planet is not necessarily a great reflection of the entire universe the planet is beautiful uh the the animals are beautiful the people are beautiful but they tend to destroy one another and that's not necessarily an operative principle in all Dimensions so some people meditate because they want to get the larger picture on life because it could get kind of discouraging if this was all there was there are thousands of Worlds thousands of dimensional planes billions endless life is endless it's discouraging goes on forever I mean that's a long time and you're Eternal which means that you have a great deal of time on your hands so tonight I'd like to use a little bit of that time and discuss just about anything that seems irrelevant and by discussing all things that are irrelevant we'll find that what is left over is relevant and what is relevant that which you can't discuss which is why we meditate because when we meditate we enter into silence Stillness meditation essentially means having a great time some people they they've applied a sense or a feeling to the meditative experience such that I like that phrase such that yeah just trying to loosen everybody up a little bit such that meditation has become a quantifiable religious experience which means that it's not any fun in other words meditation has been turned into a tool of the Bourgeois no I'm sorry wrong Incarnation I get you know I'm in different ones at different times and I got to bring it around and get it straight sorry it's this is the this is the right America meditation is wonderful it's it's it's just terrific it's just it's so wonderful I don't know why don't you do it more it's just it's the best I mean you know it's best thing since sliced Kundalini right you know it's it's terrific how do you meditate you should never ask it's easy all you have to do is stop all your thought and you're that's it see now you know was admission $7 meditation taught mission accomplished that is the secret now you might of course ask well how do you stop all your thought Rama and I would say well that's the art isn't it tonight we're going to have three very talented musicians playing and I assure you that the first time they sat down and played uh they never thought they would end up where they are tonight I'm gonna fry them with the calini they're going to be within the 12 foot range that's the kill range on the Kundalini level these guys have never been on stage with me they have no idea what they're in for but we'll all be very chic and casual and hip about it you know I just I like it so anyway you're trying to meditate how do you do it boy we're going to learn we're going to learn how to do this meditation thing when you leave here tonight you won't how do you meditate well you have to learn to be very very gentle to start with with yourself essentially because meditation is not something that you force you see it's it's something that happens to you because I don't know life gives you a gift there are billions of people out there walking around and they wear a lot of shoes have you ever thought about that but anyway uh there billions of people out there are walking around and they don't meditate you can tell they're not having a good time with their lives it's it's bad out there friends you know it's it's just people are not happy it's just not working you know one nation trying to destroy Another One race trying to destroy another one religion trying to destroy you know it's the same old story over and over again it's because they don't meditate now I'm not suggesting everyone should meditate far from it meditation is for very few individuals when I speak of meditation of course I'm speaking of something that's a a powerful experience some people speak of meditation it's kind of relaxation then you do the Mantra then okay that's nah that's not that's not what I'm talking about nah meditation is the entrance into alternate planes of Consciousness yeah it's fun so the way the way you do it is by not trying to be too good at it too quickly this is essential because otherwise uh you won't have fun with it if you expect anything in particular to happen the Stars to spin in the sky uh you know light to flood your being the calini to Surge through you uh give it a month don't expect that to start out with because you'll be very discouraged because it probably won't happen at best at the beginning you'll just kind of be kind of confused and you're not sure what you're supposed to do when you're trying to do the stuff that they say and you don't even know why you're doing it and I don't know why you're doing it either but I do know that if you do that for a long period of time you will change in ways that I can't understand but that's neither here nor there so how do you meditate well the way you meditate is well there's not just one way there's a lot of ways that's why it's difficult to talk about because there's so many ways to meditate a good way to start is with love love is perhaps the strongest force in the universe when you meditate with love what you do is you feel love and love is like a bird you kind of ride it you get on its back and you ride it up very very high above the thought level you're trying to stop thought but all your life you've been thinking you've been taught to thought to analyze to look at things facts got to have the facts ma'am remember Friday on dragut yeah so you got to have the facts right but here we're going to do something what facts who could I could care less what facts you call those facts wait wait I don't see a fact see any facts I'm looking for a fact this is called fact finding oh bad bad I know so I don't know anything about facts but I do know how to meditate and all you have to do is stop your thought and if you stop your thought for a sustained period of time you'll enter into other states of attention but fortunately the good news I know this is ridiculous but bear with me I'll get through this space the good news is that you don't have to stop thought completely to be able to meditate well isn't that good pH because it takes a long time to be able to stop thought impeccably what you need to do is to detach yourself from thought the serious part of the talk there are essentially three stages in learning how to meditate in the beginning You're simply sitting and trying to practice without any concern of what is happening what is not happening whether you're gaining benefit from it and so on you're just trying to do it and this is the stage of ignoring thought in the second part of the practice we stop Lo thought for limited periods of time and when we don't stop thought what we're doing is learning to think specific types of thoughts in other words thought control mind control so thought control sorry it slipped again the third stage is no thought now no thought is not the end of meditation that's the beginning of higher meditation that means that you are about to experience the other aspects of your being you're an endless conglomeration of awarenesses you're not One Singular self you're a cooperation inside you is eternity everything's there a human being is not so simple you know we're told that we're Ted or Sally or Willie or whatever and that we grow up and have experiences and we die or maybe we go to heaven I don't know but I do know that that has nothing to do with what life is your eternity you have thousands of selves inside you and meditation is a process of peeling back the layers of the self we start with peeling back the personality form from this lifetime your current one the the mental conditioning the things that they told you girls we pink you know that sort of thing because these are ridiculous ideas that human beings have come up with and in every culture they're different I mean there's no arbitrary standard of Truth and what they do is block you from being the totality of yourself meditation is not for everybody I'll grant you that that's for sure because when you meditate you're going to become conscious and most people don't want to be too conscious because they're afraid they're afraid of awareness they're afraid of Life they're afraid of being happy now that may sound ridiculous and I would have thought so a long time ago but having been around the world a little bit I've seen that it's not ridiculous people really don't want to be happy they go out of their way to be miserable so if you want to be that way I can't do a thing for you nobody can because you've already set the program and it's running you debugged it misery nothing's going to work out everybody's against me like life has no meaning you're right there but well it doesn't need a meaning I mean a meaning is an arbitrary thought formulation that we fixed to it because we're in the mood life is its own me meaning it's its own rra it's exciting the cundalini is the energy the energy of existence Kundalini is the life force it's given different names sometimes they call it Prana okay sometimes they divide it into different segments in Sanskrit the aana and the Sana and all that sort of fancy terminologies sometimes it's called Shakti nice names I like the sound of them all it is is energy it's the life force the more life force you have the more you can do the more alive you are the Kundalini is said to reside in the base of the spine now that's a bit of a misnomer because the Kundalini really is not so much in the physical body as in what we call the subtle physical body or body of energy also known by some as the astral body that surrounds the physical body the etheric body when you see someone's aura that's just the outer reflection of the subtle physical body the subtle physical body is about the same shape as the physical body although it can change shapes it can become thousands of different things but it does have a basic structure and the way it works is of course as you all know there are seven primary chakras or energy centers that run along theoretically along the spinal column and the root chakra at the very base of the spine is where the Kundalini is said to reside the Kundalini is thought of as a as a serpent as a snake something that's coiled it means coiled it's going to Spring out it isn't really like that but it sounds good it's much more ense than that it's much more complete the calini is not some little snap thing that goes whip okay the Kundalini is the totality of the universe all of the Life Energy of existence is going to flow through you you will be in thousands of planes of Consciousness at once or beyond all in Nirvana absorbed or maybe having a sandwich with a friend confronting an olive and you can see the life in that Olive you can know what it is to be an olive you can because you can detach your attention from yourself and go anywhere you can wander the universe big deal so so to meditate then what you need to do is to be able to free yourself from your ideas and your thoughts which are probably wonderful liar no they're probably wonderful wonderful ful thoughts and ideas you have great but sometimes there's something more and that's beyond thought because all of the higher dimensional planes the higher realities the infinite Cosmos itself is beyond thought it's certainly something that you can experience and be as are the other aspects of yourself why are people unhappy people are unhappy because they don't understand life they're they're unhappy because I mean it's obvious why they're unhappy maybe it's better to look at what what makes someone happy by happy I don't just mean h but complete aware conscious poignant uh caring loving uh unaffected uh Cosmic a simplistic humble uh excited passive everything you're everything we're a stage and they're players and they come and they speak the speech the loves the experiences the cares the Sorrows it all passes through us we're the audience we're watching we're the participant we're the reviewer we're everything to know that to know that truth to know that awareness and still not get too stuck on yourself you know so you're like not God's gift to the world you know to avoid that uh to be conscious of life to love to be free and yet to be able to deal with the world effectively to be able to handle that freeway traffic to be able to deal with pain and love and ecstasy ecstasy can be painful when it's intense enough when the Kundalini surgeon enough the Ecstasy is so complete it's overwhelming sometimes eventually you go into samadi samadi very Advanced meditation you dissolve in the clear light of Eternity again and again the experience of Enlightenment tomorrow night how do you meditate we're going to do a meditation technique and I'm going to go through it now and we're going to do one you will find that they will build over the evening we're going to do three of them this will be the first one I'd like you to listen carefully they seem very simple and they are that's why they work but they're extremely powerful tonight as we meditate together I'm going to be moving in and out of different planes of attention and taking the calini and surging it through you in a lot of different ways to show you inside what it feels like to meditate naturally when you're here there's lots of wonderful people and they've got lots of wonderful energy and so you'll feel a lot of different things but the true test of how the experience was what it did for you was how you feel when you get home go home have a little bite to eat relax and look around you see the energy see how you feel tomorrow if we did a good job you'll be pretty gone what I'd like you to do is to in a moment stay relaxed in a moment to sit up straight it's good when you meditate to sit up straight normally when you practice meditation you can sit in a chair which I wish you would tonight please don't sit in the aisles because the fire laws you know I don't know fire has problems with it uh but you can sit like this you can sit I don't know any way you want as long as you sit up straight and your back is spine is straight you should be comfortable it's good to wear a clean loose clothing when you meditate you can meditate naked if that's what into it doesn't matter the main thing is to learn to be still now so therefore why all this music when you're trying to be still the music is used as a backdrop we have a lot of people together a lot of different energies and it gives us something to focus on a little bit and I take the calini and I play against the notes with it I kind of do a light show inwardly and outwardly with the energy with vortexes of energy as you sit there opening you up opening up different parts of you that maybe you haven't felt since you were a child it's no big deal it's just what I do what I'd like you to do is to do a meditation during this experience the next 10 or 12 minutes while we're sitting here and feeling in new ways new energies you're storing something don't be looking for the flashy experience it may happen but if it's strong enough you won't realize it's happened to much later when you start to come down from it what we're looking for here is storing power your accumulating energy the Kundalini so I'd like you to begin this evening just for a moment by taking your hand and touching the area around your navl just take your hand and touch that area okay and you'll know how much weight you need to lose the holidays are always devastating okay this is one of the nadis this is one of the places where the Kundalini hangs out so what I'd like you to do is while the music is on I'd like you to practice a simple exercise for maybe four or five minutes then you can stop the exercise and just go and leave the driving to us uh what I'd like you to do is to focus your attention here and you will feel uh surges of energy you don't have to touch that spot when you do this and I'd like you to feel the energy moving we're going to move that energy from here to the center of the chest now it touch the center of the chest right here this is the heart chakra this is the naval chakra these are two primary energy centers the heart chakra is a very pure luminous Energy Center the shimna is the tube that the Kundalini passes up in the subtle physical body on one side is a little guy called the Ida and the other side is the pingala we're going to move the Kundalini from the solar plexus region where it stores right up into the Heart Center which purifies it and connects the two halves of the being this is the central chakra they're three above the heart chakra throat chakra third eye and of course the crown chakra Naval Center one halfway down and then one all the way at the base of the spine so to start with we're going to do a simple exercise but it's strong focusing here and then what I'd like you to imagine because imagination is power in the inner world when you use your imagination you are creating a movement of energy it's not arbitrary it's not daydreaming okay well daydreaming is energy what I'd like you to do is to sit up relax feel this area of your body and feel energy or just imagine it moving from here to here like a little surge like a little Fountain going from here to here if it goes further fine don't worry about it and you so you just sort of feel energy kind of going from here to here then you're going to come back down again and bring bring it from here to here little circle then you're going to come back down again and bring it from here to here but at this point we're not taking the energy so much in a circle it's just bringing it up and I just like you to repeat this for a few minutes four or five minutes and as you do you'll notice your attention level changing thoughts will come in and out of your mind at this point please just ignore them don't try and fight with them or stop them yet just ignore them relax and just keep this Focus after doing that for a few minutes stop let go and just let the music absorb you or the energy absorb you the energy changes will be very very fast very quick I'll snap you through a lot of different planes of attention very quickly if you feel uncomfortable relax it'll go away in a moment you're trying too hard relax a little bit lighten up have fun with it smile a little bit if it gets too intense just sit back you might meditate with your eyes closed normally that's the easiest once in while it's fun to meditate with the eyes open and gaze forward without a particular Focus we'll talk more about that later to stop thought you have to go above it so we're collecting energy and then that energy when it's freed it's like a flood and the water will rise and rise and will take us above a certain level and then there's no thought then we're in Altered States of attention that's how the calini works one of the ways so I'd like you to focus your attention here and then just very gently as you sit there with your eyes closed just bring the energy from here to here just imagine it you don't have to see a picture in your mind just feel that Focus here then feel here then here then here and just feel it rising up and as you do you may feel a sensation kind of like you're floating you may see visual colors particularly if your eyes are open uh you may see colors there'll be certain changes that they're doing here but aside from that you may see subtle changes in the subtle physical maybe no phenomena it doesn't matter you're absorbing energy you're absorbing power which you'll take with you when you leave this evening so let us begin if you please sit up nice and straight relax close your eyes Focus your attention Naval Center we'll be meditating for about 10 minutes so just have a nice time don't fall asleep and just let yourself go let yourself wander you're thinking what am I supposed to do what's going to happen who knows I don't know that's what makes life exciting just let go ignore thought feel just practice feeling feel the energy shifts in the room ride the music for a while ride the energy go beyond thought Feel Love feel peace uh don't think about tomorrow or yesterday they don't exist Yesterday's Gone Tomorrow hasn't happened we only have this night and this night is eternity good let us begin oh n oh he he la all h Hal h halelu h oh oh a oh please sit back and relax there are many many ways to meditate essentially in the very beginning when you meditate you're learning how to feel again when we're very young children we know how to feel it's innate but as we lead a lifetime we pick up so many thoughts Impressions feelings ings ideas that our sensitivity goes away now little children don't meditate perfectly don't misunderstand me some children are perfectly horrible but their subtle physical bodies are perfectly intact but as we grow up as we're exposed to hate and greed and anger and jealousy and peanut brittle and all kinds of things our subtle body erod roads the subtle body must be intact to transmit the Kundalini the life force as the subtle body wears we get sick and that's why eventually the body dies is because something happens to the subtle body the Integrity of the subtle body is totally important think of the subtle body as as the the framework I mean the veins uh capillaries organs everything is required for the body to function the subtle physical body also is made up of many different strands of luminous energy and Energies flowing through them constantly in the etheric plane that supports of course the physical body above the subtle body there's the causal body and then of course the the soul or whatever you want to call it that which we are we're the universe we're all intelligent so what are we doing here well life is like that you end up in the strangest places they had a great brochure for this particular Planet before this Incarnation you probably read it too if you're starting to meditate I suggest that you set up a schedule for yourself it's good to meditate twice a day if you're an absolute beginner once a day if you can't get yourself to meditate once a day then try once a year now you shouldn't didn't expect as much of course once a day is good to start okay best time to meditate is when you first get up in the morning or evening or whenever you rise what you want to do get up wake up take a shower or whatever and sit down and meditate most people have a little meditation table they sit in front of when they meditate or sit in a chair and sometimes they keep large amounts of cash on it and they hope that through the process of meditation when they finish meditating there will be more I don't know but I myself have candles on mine and uh some flowers the candles are nice because the light is very gentle it's easy on the eyes u and sometimes the little incense burning sometimes the rug whatever you're in the mood for the flowers are nice they bring nature into our universe and then what should you do it's a good idea sometimes before you start a meditation to chant a mantra a mantra is a very powerful word it vibrates like music does only not just on this plane but on other planes of reality it creates a power of force it starts the Kundalini moving there are many different mantras the most powerful of all mantras of course is om spelled a m or o m it's usually chanted either silently or out loud but it's stretched so it's stretched all mantras are always elongated the mantra for beauty is string s r i n g to enter into the states of of beauty and that's string it's string and so on so if you would chant om either silently or out loud maybe seven times seven powerful numbers seven higher worlds and seven lower worlds according to one philosophy if you would chant om seven times sit down okay woke up oh man God I got to meditate man I can't take it man jeez last night man that party got I got so wasted how am I going to do it man I don't know Rama said I got to do it man I'll do it jeez they going to light the candles oh I lit the flower man God oh it's bad karma man like I won't tell anyone I'll just put it back together no one will know I'm going to do this thing man I'm going to sit here I got to do this m Jazz man sounds pretty Jive but I'll try it man I'll do it no one will hear me man they'll think I'm sick I go that's good enough man he'll never know now I'm going to do this what are I going to do one of those exercises he taught us man I Got Loaded before I went that night it was pretty far out I like the music a lot I don't know if I can remember let's see what he said something about the heart man I got to like Focus like right here I'm going to like put my attention that's right I'm going to sit up straight man like oh he didn't say I didn't have to breathe no no you can do any kind of breathing just okay so what you're going to do then we cut back to the present moment is after chaned a few times and sort of gotten yourself basically together and put the flower out you're going to sit there and focus your attention in a number of different ways any of the EXC exes that you start out with will get the calini moving you don't have to stay with them for the entire period of meditation you want to go beyond them we want to walk through the door once we're through the door we're outside we're in another world but we need to get up and walk through the door so a meditation exercise serves that purpose it's not something to stay with because you'll fixate on it we want to go beyond thought Beyond ideation Beyond feeling Beyond everything but we start in the physical and in the mind we use the transitory to go to the Eternal because they're really interconnected so you'll sit down in the morning okay if you can't make it in the morning try the evening to start with do the Late Show okay but you meditate best in the morning even though you may be a little tired the mind has not been active yet once you've been thinking analyzing talking picking up energy being active it's harder to slow it down even though you're a little TI TI the Mind hasn't been moving it's easier to make it still when you meditate in the morning you pick up a lot of energy Focus awareness and that will be with you throughout the day you'll have a shield of energy around you it brightens the subtle physical body so you won't pick up as much negative energy from your transactions with the world your mind will be clear you'll do everything well everything's better with blue bonnet on it right so if you smear it all over yourself before you Med no kinky Boy tell you so sit there and meditate practice one of these exercises that I'm showing you tonight or another one that you may know to start out with then what are you supposed to do as I suggested there are three stages if you're very new to meditation simply practice the exercise for a few minutes say five minutes or as long as it's comfortable then after doing that for about five minutes or so stop just let go letting go is the hardest thing isn't it because everybody's so afraid they're so afraid of Eternity they're so afraid of Life they're so afraid of what's on the other side of death there's nothing but light infinite light infinite awareness God is everywhere so learn to let go you do it a little at a time and you have small successes and those successes in term terms of mental Clarity feeling better uh deep perceptions about life uh developing your psychic abilities whatever it may be the changes you go through you become someone else when you meditate you know it isn't it isn't just a little technique if you really pursue it you change radically constantly because you evolve you can go through hundreds of lifetimes in one you can experience so much feel so much be so much or be nothing or everything or Beyond both and it all starts with that daily meditation practice how long should you meditate if you're very new to meditation maybe 15 minutes is fine set a minimum time you'll sit there for 15 minutes don't expect anything in the beginning just to do it is enough it's like jogging the first few times you do it you're not going to suddenly be running marathons but if you do it every day for a little while you'll find the time will increase by itself it'll it won't won't be as hard it'll feel good and pretty soon you'll be amazed at what you can do or in the case of meditation not do or undo if you've been meditating for a while after a month or so if you're new to meditation or two months work it up to half an hour after 6 months or a year maybe 45 minutes twice a day you'll sleep less have a lot more energy and you begin to become conscious of consciousness of awareness meditation gives you personal power you'll notice that people will treat you very differently as you progress because they can feel that power or that energy naturally it's the hope of those of us who teach meditation particularly the release of the Kundalini which is a very powerful form of meditation that you use that power wisely and if you search your heart I think you will you'll learn through experience like everyone experience is the great teacher you'll have to go through the trials and tribulations and the ecstasies and abandoned moments of wonderfulness that all of us did on the way to Enlightenment it's a great great life we lead but it causes substantial changes in the way that you see life because the way you see life is the way you've been taught to see life you've been programmed brainwashed to see life in very specific forms some of them may be useful forms but still they're specific forms life is endless and we are a body of perception we're an awareness that's endless and as you meditate you experience different parts of that perception and this perception Alters the universe Alters because the universe is only perception so in the beginning when you're sitting meditating just ignore a thought pay no attention shine it on then after you're comfortable with sitting there you've been meditating a month or two try selectively eliminating negative thoughts by that I mean thoughts that draw you into the world of unhappiness that agitate your mind so rather than worrying about your exam that you've got to take or your career or the person you're in love with or whatever it may be begin to have thought control you can practice it during the day also but but start in your meditations and meditate and think positive thoughts if you must think think good thoughts happy thoughts constructive thoughts you'll find that sometimes while you're sitting there you'll get a lot of great ideas now granted you want to go beyond ideas and Beyond thought but that takes years of practice if not lifetimes to erase thought even subconscious thought completely for extended periods of Eternity so in the beginning we're just stopping thought for a while while but first just ignore it then selectively work with your thoughts and then you'll begin to move into periods of no thought it'll just happen and you won't realize it's happened until you've started to think again and you'll think boy I wasn't thinking it's good to meditate in the early evening if you can ideally one would meditate in the morning clear yourself bring in a lot of calini a lot of energy go out into the day have an exciting Day come back slightly worn by the day but feeling good having learned in the School of Life come back meditate again and clear yourself again it's very easy to meditate at Sunset there's a doorway that opens between the Worlds at the time of the setting sun it's very easy to Ste your thoughts sometimes it's fun to meditate outside be creative meditate at the beach on a Mountaintop in the desert wherever you're comfortable don't get hung up in rituals or routines how do you end a meditation session it's nice to chant a mantra again maybe repeated it a few times it seals the meditation you'll notice sometimes after meditation I bow say wonderful for the stomach muscles what am I doing you you don't have to do it that way you can just do it inside you don't have to give it physical form you're giving the meditation away you have a meditation you do your best and then you just give it to Eternity don't judge your meditations don't rate them the mind the physical mind cannot tell how well you did so if you start to think gee that was a good one that was a bad one nonsense there's no such thing the only bad meditation is when you don't meditate as long as you're sitting there trying something will happen but you will not necessarily necessarily feel the positive effect of your meditation experience perhaps for half an hour or an hour after you've ended the meditation then suddenly everything will get very clear you'll just feel very good a sense of well-being this is the preliminary the beginning you don't stay with well-being you move to ecstatic Consciousness perceptions about life eternity you become the cosmos just depends how far you want to go with it that's up to you Kundalini can be used in a lot of different ways essentially in the beginning you're just trying to get it moving within yourself everyone has Kundalini it's already there but it's a question of waking it up as I suggested before the subtle physical body must be intact if there problems with the subtle body it's very hard for the calini to flow a certain amount of the calini is always floating through the Ida and the pingala these two little subtle nerve tubes on either side of the shishna which is a central tube in the subtle physical body and that's what keeps us alive when the subtle physical body is damaged you'll begin to notice changes in your skin when your skin starts to get kind of gnarly okay dry problems with it okay now not speaking of acne acne is not necessarily a problem with a subtle physical body it just means that you have a lot of Kundalini which stimulates the hormones but when you see uh deterioration in the skin or the hair particularly you'll you're having problems with the subtle body you're taking in too much bad energy usually from people or you're thinking too many negative thoughts you're just on the wrong circuit you're pulling an energy that is not suitable for the human life form the human life form vibrates at a certain rate but all vibratory rates are not suitable for human life so it's very necessary to meditate on higher otive energy on the clear light on Joy on happiness peace if you try and pull too much power through too soon you'll injure yourself the Kundalini can be trans transmitted you're trying to awaken it bring it through you it brings you into other states of Consciousness but it can also be transmitted a person who is very Adept at the Kundalini who has a great deal of it uh who's gone through this Enlightenment process can transmit it and that's of course what I do uh when you're sitting here I'm taking the calini and moving it through you some of you if you're sensitive of course you'll feel it if not you won't but it still has an effect it's like a radiation whether you feel it or not it's affecting you in a very positive way you may notice during the meditation sometimes I'm I'm moving my hands and doing different things what I'm doing is moving the calini in very specific ways it's kind of like reaching into another dimensional plane and pulling the calini through and moving it through you in specific ways and forms so you can transmit the Kundalini physically when people are there of course long distance it's energy interdimensional energy it's much easier for women to meditate than it is for men innately and it has to do with the nature of a woman's subtle physical body the subtle physical body of a man and woman is slightly different both a man and woman can meditate well but women will just find it a little bit easier they have to do a little less work work that's all because their subtle physical bodies pick up the Kundalini much more quickly they vibrate at a slightly different rate it passes very easily but that's also problematic because a woman also picks up bad energy or negative energy uh it affects her more hate anger things like that affect her subtle physical more sensitivity is a two-way street when you're sensitive you can feel and appreciate but you can also be injured more easily but women find it very easy to release the Kundalini and bring it through their beings the Kundalini brings about changes structured changes in the being we're reordering the self we're made up of a series of awarenesses beyond the subtle physical body we have something called the causal body and that's more what we are we're a series of interconnecting awarenesses it's possible it's like a molecular Bond a DNA a double helix we can change that that's what self-discovery is self-discovery is a very Advanced art what we're doing basically is screwing around with what you're made up of we're taking awarenesses feelings ideas Impressions and changing them we do that with ourselves as you expose yourself again and again to the power of meditation to the Kundalini you're changing that and refining it enlarging it you have a house that has many many rooms in it but you've only seen a few but there's so many and then there's beyond the house there's the outdoors the endless universe you're sitting on this little planet spaceship earth but the universe is very accessible to you you don't need a spaceship to travel there and most of the worlds are non-physical and it's all God it's all eternity I'm going to teach you another meditation technique this one is very simple it's a focus on the heart Center The Heart Center is the principal chakra there three above and three below it's the central AIS of the being what I would like you to do it's very simple is to focus on this spot and to feel love now how do you feel love spontaneously well you can think of someone you love or something you love a nice experience that you've had anything to get the flow started the patient is on the table not breathing we've got got to get that we're going to pound that sucker pow to get him started once he started you see then the heart will get going again well we can do it more delicately what we're going to do is feel love that's going to get something in US started it's going to get our awareness moving light flowing through our Consciousness so what I'd like you to do is simply to focus on this Center if you like you might visualize a flower or feel that there's a flower there but it's like a rose and it's all folded up and as you meditate feel you don't have to see a mental picture but just feel the flower is opening that there all these petals they're closed up and gradually they're opening up and there set after set of petals and as each set of petals open up opens up it's a little larger than the first set the first set that opens up will kind of fill a small area real slowly and gracefully they'll open up and light will go through your being a second set will open up and maybe it'll fill the chest area very gracefully a third set will open and fill the whole body a fourth set the room a fifth set the whole Sky a sixth set the universe a seventh set all of eternity and so on endless petals opening up each time you open up a set of petals you're going deeper into the self deeper into Nirvana deeper into Eternal awareness when thoughts come in and out of your mind just ignore them you might try meditating that way with the eyes closed for a few minutes you might try meditating them with the eyes open it's good to learn to meditate that way we call it gazing just looking forward without a singular focus and you can see the Kundalini actually moving through the air other than the light changes of course there are other changes taking place uh as you watch my hands you may notice energy flowing through them it's going through you it's the transmission of the Kundalini so we'll meditate again for about 10 minutes and you'll notice that this meditation will be quite different try and feel love we're meditating on love this time it's the strongest force in the universe and we're just going to open ourselves up to it and just let it carry us there a lot of wonderful people here and we're all networking our energy together we're getting high together they can't do anything about it so let's try so sit up nice and straight please focus on the center of the chest relax relax enjoy yourself this is your life exactly and imagine a flower there if you like or just focus on that spot for a few minutes and feel it unfolding Let Yourself Go ignore your thoughts and let's meditate yeah oh he the B look is w he he back yeah d la oh please sit back and relax it's a good idea when you meditate to avoid eating for a few hours before you meditate because otherwise you just feel your body too much you really don't want to feel the body if you're very very hungry though you should have something to eat CU otherwise you'll just sit there and think of food which is not the worst thing to think of granite calini flows in different direction some people are under the assumption that the calini just flows from the base of the spine up that's not the case at all flows a lot of different ways calini also flows down downward you can take the calini from the crown Center which is an access point and bring it down you can bring it up or you can stabilize them both when you stop breathing in meditation the Kundalini is stabilized when you go into Sam very often you won't breathe for half an hour an hour there's no breath at all the calini the life force is perfectly stabilized usually they stabilize in the solar plexus area you can stabilize it anywhere actually but that's most common the Kundalini can be used for a lot of purposes uh healing disease obviously uh healing the mind more importantly it can be used to help awaken someone to life we're all asleep this is a dream that we're in this world we're trying to wake up we have these recurring dreams that we're human beings that we have bodies that were in time and space that there's birth and death we keep having this dream day after day to awaken from the dream of life or to see endless dreams or to go beyond the dream to Nirvana to be conscious of Eternity and yet to be here and be aware of the moment meditation never leave the body without it I'd like to answer a few questions about meditation in the Kundalini specifically for a few minutes we'll be doing another meditation after a while it'll be our final one for the evening but that won't be for a while yet and if you have a question I'd like you to raise your hand if you could say it nice and loudly so I can hear you it would be helpful and I'll repeat the question for everyone else because they probably won't be able to hear so if you have a question please raise your hand this such a vast area meditation and aini you may have specific interests uh when you meditate at home sometimes it's good to try very hard you know you just want to really just do your absolute best now sometimes some people say when they start to meditate they get a headache when they meditate it's because they're trying too hard you're pulling too much energy it's like eating too much and then you feel sick afterwards so if you just feel any ill effects it means you're trying too hard hard but tonight it's really not necessary for you to try very hard because there's just so much Kundalini surging that it's if you try too hard it'll just get in you'll get in your own way you see it's just best just to let go and and leave it this evening that'd be the the easiest to try not to try it goes back and forth to strive not to strive there are different ways of talking about something that's really beyond words that's an experience which is why we meditate together you see real higher meditation is not taught through techniques or words these are the beginning steps that's how we start someone and everyone has to go through that process really you have to learn the basics one can never be too proud to to learn how to begin again but the real meditation experience is taught it's either just learned of course through practice naturally but it's taught uh inwardly in other words you shift a person through different dimensional planes but they have to do the prep for you be able to do that as a teacher so it's necessary for you to meditate on your own and just refine your Consciousness tighten up your life you know constantly examine your life and look for weak points are your relationships sloppy or your emotions sloppy or are they tight are you loving and giving are you being selfish and weird uh you know what's what's going on in your life and as you meditate you get clearer on that you get clearer on the fact that you can shape and mold your life you can be an architect of your own destiny most people uh they lead their lives like they drive their cars you know and you can you can be more precise uh you can lead a life poorly or very well so meditation gives you the energy and also the insight to do that as to meditate how how should you meditate hard easily every meditation is unique there's no absolute rule that's what makes it fun you have to feel out each sit situation and try as you go so if you're sitting there meditating one day and you're meditating in the Heart Center it's been great the last three times this time nothing don't stay with it switch do something else be creative meditate on your Naval Center do another exercise switch it around don't be bound okay stop for a minute you're sitting there it's just not happening stop take a break for a moment okay walk around sit down try again try a different room a different energy every place has different energy be creative in your meditation so tonight if you're sitting there and you're trying real hard and it's it's just not kicking over for you don't try so hard obviously you see every situation is is different but there's just so much energy tonight that it's not necessary questions yes do how do you deal with the fact that some okay you're meditating at home and sometimes you stop breathing and your question is how do you deal with that how do you deal with it well I don't know I can remember when that started happening to me about 15 years ago and I wouldn't breathe and then suddenly you become real uptight because you're not breathing you say your mind says I'm not breathing I'm supposed to be breathing God I'm not breathing and then you realize all you did was just bring yourself down from a nice meditation the trick is to meditate just a little higher and you won't even know that you're not breathing so then it isn't a problem because as long as you're in the plane where you know you're not breathing you know you're going to think about it you're trying not to think about it an armadillo with a purple Beret good luck here he comes now you know right so you know you're not breathing okay it's good you're not breathing you don't need to breathe Soo much people breathe too much listen if everybody would Breathe less there'd be more oxygen on the planet brahma's suggestion so so you don't need to breathe it's it's happening by itself but your mind will tell you you do because we've been conditioned to think that we need to breathe and you don't need to breathe so much I mean breathing is nice you know it's okay but it's it's nothing to get attached to it's a matter uh of just ignoring that whole experience it's just another place to get stuck as you're meditating you're you're you're stuck to start out with you're stuck in your thoughts it's like your feeter in you know Bonos Turkish taffy something you're trying to get them out and then then you get one free and then you get the other one free and then finally you're going but then along the way there're little things that kind of grab you like those are all your attach ments so you having a great meditation thought stops you're cruising along and then suddenly the love of your life comes into your mind he she or it is sitting at home thinking about you reaching out throwing a little lasso of Ault energy around saying don't go so fast there think about me now of course if you're not experienced in the ways of occult power you'll assume that you're just thinking about Susie or Bill or you know the armadillo or whatever you're into and you won't realize that they are because human beings are very strong and they all radiate calini and energy inserting themselves into your thoughts it's true it's true it's a good idea if you're going to have a really good meditation to unplug the phone because you'd be surprised boy that's that's when you learn early CU just when just when it's finally happening then you know hi son you know whatever it may be right you know and it's like just the energy crackles along the line another question yes I would think so yeah okay so your problem is then that you live in a as you said a multi-room dwelling where different people live U known as a rooming house and that there's a fellow who lives in the room next to you who as you put it very poetic has a drinking problem and that when he starts to Rave and scream as you said uh it and like he puts out a lot of bad energy and you're sitting in your room and you notice the flowers are wilting and stuff like that so your question then is I'm just repeating it for all to hear your question is how can you put out an energy that will kind of protect you from that experience okay well the obvious answer is is move naturally that's the easiest uh because when it's real serious it's you know it's going to be a battle every step of the way but if that just isn't in the cards you really like the room or you're just determin or you signed a lease or whatever and you're stuck with it then you need to turn your room into a place of power yeah uh it's a good idea to have flowers around candles incense um you know happy things make your room a beautiful place I mean you should always do that with your house anyway you should have Beauty wherever you are CU life is is so pretty and so just make your room really beautiful and just keep it very clean impeccably clean all the closets and Order drawers everything in perfect place and just uh turn on music when he screams that's the best I think personally uh a walk person headphones you know there's not much you can do except feel that he doesn't exist ah this is the trick what you can do it's possible now I don't know if you can do this but I can do this it's possible to block out any noise not by blocking it out but by expanding your attention level so that it's so vast that it's just another part of Eternity and you do not apply a specific mental charge to it in other words that particular sound or those vibrations that person is sending out are offending you they're offending your sensibility they hurt your your subtle body but it's possible to go up high enough where everything is sort of a white noise everything just Blends together you can do that in the beginning that's pretty hard though I'd move that's that's my advice but just if you don't do that just make your own life as tight as possible don't think badly of the person because what can they do I mean this is his karma right he can't help it he's got a weak subtle physical body so he drinks life hurts sometimes real badly who knows I mean we should never criticize or judge a person uh who does things like that because who knows what they've been through in their life some people have some pretty rough lives and he's just killing the pain that's all he's doing but naturally you're in a different place you're vibrating at a different cycle so you have to do something about it I'd move or just try and be very compassionate and understanding and play music yeah little things little practical applications but if you can if you can in your heart understand what's going on it's easier to deal with it because obviously this person has had a tough Incarnation question yes ah yes okay so you're saying that sometimes when you meditate you're kind of going beyond the body and then you notice that your body is is is sort of tilting or falling or something like that yeah yeah okay right and that brings you back so that's not a good thing what you need to do is learn to discipline your body to sit there okay you can do this when you go into very Advanced states of attention and the way you do it is just by gently correcting yourself when you meditate your body shouldn't move some people get this calini sway business you know know it's nauseating to watch them meditate yeah you get a whole room like that and it's like you bring drama me to the meditations you so the body should be kept still and if you find yourself leaning during a meditation okay then just correct yourself just gently don't worry about bringing yourself down that's fine correct yourself you'll just have to do it a few times you know you make a little habit of it just as soon as you start to go off bring yourself right back and you'll find after a while the body will know that and it will just stay that way the only time that there will be variances in samadi in in in nerv aopa you go completely Beyond this world beyond the physical level of attention and the body just that's it it doesn't it's gone you erased doesn't matter you don't care but huh yeah your body is yes exactly your body is distracting you that's what I'm saying if you take the time to every time observe your body for a while okay and correct yourself in other words this problem could go on your whole life okay better you should take a little time and correct it early now and just pay a little attention to your posture every once in a while check yourself during the meditation and you might think well that's going to bring me down that's okay you do it just for a little while for a month or so it'll become a routine you'll never have to do it again otherwise you're going to deal with this thing forever see what I mean so just just use a little tighter physical attention on it and it'll work out fine question yes there's somebody back over there okay if your subtle body is damaged how can you tell where it's damaged and how do you repair it I wouldn't so much worry about where it's damaged because usually it's not a specific place it can be but usually it's just more of an erosion of the whole subtle physical body okay it's just not sort of healthy uh what can you do about it well first of all naturally you have to stop the harm that's being done to it but even actually before that you have to realize that there's harm being done to it let me give you an example let's say that you go up in the mountains and it's real cold up there and you come into the cabin and it's just freezing it's 10 below zero but even some of the windows are open or they have to be boarded up it's just a mess the first thing to do is light a fire first thing light the fire don't worry about the windows light the fire fire once the fire is going that'll provide a certain amount of warmth and with that warmth you can then take your time and fill in the biggest holes to start with the biggest losses and the heat will spread and you'll get warmer then you can gradually get the little ones until there's no heat loss whatsoever also you can make the fire larger whatever so with a subtle physical body and with one's attention field we start first by generating energy the Kundalini you've got to make yourself warm you need energy and life force to see and feel what you need to do otherwise you're in a dark room and you can't tell what's going on so to begin with you just need to practice more meditation that's the best thing you can do and to meditate well some people that you know I talk to them oh I meditate for four hours a day and you look at their Consciousness it's like you meditate for four hours a day you know they're obviously not meditating for four hours a day they're sitting there spacing out they're not meditating okay there's a large difference between spacing out into the lower occult astral planes just kind of this weird junky fuzzy energy and meditation meditation is sharp clear precise perfect luminous Shiny Happy etheric Cosmic dissolute it has various forms and formlessness but it's not this kind of Spacey stuff that then makes it difficult to orient to your life if that's your experience of meditation you're not meditating you're tapping into the lower astral Plaines which is not a healthy place for human beings to tap so you need to have good clear sharp precise meditation that are filled with love and light and energy then you can address questions in your life and you start with the biggest energy losses the biggest energy losses for most people are relationships inter relations with other people that's where we lose most energy through our attachments or just by opening ourselves up to people who may be very nice on the surface but underneath they have a lot of problems and when we open our heart up to someone that energy of course comes into us so you just have to start to examine uh the people in your life and ask you ask yourself if you're really having fun with them sometimes we keep relationships going with people who aren't what they used to be they're not the people we knew and liked they've changed we've changed but we keep up this Association because we're afraid to make a jump to something new and we die inwardly when we're young when we're little kids we change we make new friends all the time we're alive we're growing but we get scared as adults we get too conservative we die so begin by looking at your relationships and usually what you do is you just take out a piece of paper two actually and on one piece of paper just put down all the people you know and associate with who you feel are adding more to your life than they're taking and then on the other piece of paper put all the people you know list them who are taking more than they're adding you should also include people from the past just because you're not physically close to someone doesn't mean that there isn't an interaction of energies you may not have seen your ex-wife for 10 years but there can be an interaction taking place then what you need to do when you find any that you feel are not happening they're not generating energy you need to cut those inside yourself at the umbilical region we actually network with people and so what you can do there's a little exercise where you just can picture if you want to uh that you're cutting these cords that go out to everyone you know and as you do that you create a sense of Detachment that doesn't mean you don't love them it just means you're cutting down on the negative energy pick up from people the people who hurt you are the ones you love because you're most open to them then of course you have to look at your own thought forms are you sitting around thinking a lot of negative thoughts these injure the subtle body when you hate when you're angry you bring that energy through you are you focusing too much on the lower occult the lower astral are you contacting entities and strange low Vibe beings and weird worlds if you do that you're accessing energies that are very bad for the subtle physical you should be focusing more on light energy storing personal power whatever it may be but there's certain neighborhoods that are not healthy to Traverse then of course it gets much deeper naturally then we get into self-discovery that's my specialty and that's dissecting someone inwardly looking at the different cell uh making uh changes in them and so on and so forth It's the what we call the Tibetan rebirth process it's a very complex process of changing levels of attention changing selves around and so forth it's it's all done inwardly with a it's it's that's the art of self-discovery advanced self-discovery But first you have to go through all those preliminary stages and also there are obvious physical things you can do spend time in nature get away from the city once in a while uh go jogging down on the beach the ocean is a wonderful place you know if there's not too many people around uh to be to draw in a lot of Prana a lot of good energy have a lot of plants in your house happy things plants generate energy make friends with them transact with nature nature is energy is Prana is healing uh drink lots of water uh has a lot of Prana in it things like that uh physical exercise anything that's aerobic where you're moving a lot jogging tennis swimming uh longdistance walking hopping you know whatever uh uh be very careful whom you love not how much but whom yeah all the usual spiritual stuff you know and then the body will begin to return a lot of people trash their subtle physical body with drugs uh psychedelic drugs and things like that while they do certainly give you experiences and altered levels of attention you pay a price for it they create some Awakenings but they definitely uh screw up the subtle physical and so sometimes yoga is very good for that ha yoga that's good uh sometimes fasting not excessively you know with but that can be good oh lots of things whatever whatever makes you feel good might be listening to music uh things like that just find what makes you feel gentle what makes you feel still and people who have that effect upon you I mean sometimes it's fun to just be crazy with energy and laugh and be silly don't misunderstand that can be very regenerative but you need the Stillness too what is the relationship between the Kundalini force and the sex Force the sexual drive is Kundalini really any energy within us is a form of Kundalini so it's a particular uh fragrance or aspect of Kundalini now like all of all things they're neither good nor bad it's how they're applied and I wouldn't even say the effect is good or bad but there is what we call karma karma simply means that there's a reaction for an action there's cause and effect in the world of Duality so the Sexual Energy then becomes problematic if you use it to enslave someone to demoralize them to hurt them to wrap them up okay in other words the way most people use Sexual Energy is to hook somebody they use it to wrap them to get control over them uh some people use the Sexual Energy particularly during intercourse to take personal power from each other U or it's just a gratification of of a of a physical sensation you know there are lots of ways it can be used but those ways don't engender or arise in Consciousness uh if you use that energy to love somebody then it works a little better in terms of raising one's level of attention some people say that if you have sex uh you can't be enlightened that's not my point of view I think it isn't really so much whether you have sex or not but it's what you're doing with your attention level during that time that's the issue in other words if you can meditate and be very high uh regardless of what you're doing then that's what you're doing you're meditating but you have to be able to slash through your desires to do that because otherwise you get so caught up in physical sensation you know pleasure this that and the other thing that uh you're distracted from meditating so you have to have a very intense degree of Detachment and determination to do that but then it can become a cosmic experience you see as everything is but the Kundalini uh and sex are extremely interrelated the sexual drive is part of the that's why it's funny because some people who have a lot of sexual energy they think of themselves as being not spiritual because they have a lot of sexual energy and that's like you know T he uh how silly uh they're probably more spiritually inclined all that all that Sexual Energy is Kundalini that's all it is they'd probably do really really well uh in meditation but because in certain books they say well you knowah blah blah you know uh and you figure you're kinky right and you figure what hope is there for me well from my point of view you'll probably do better because you have you have more life for it's more energy and it's just manifesting but what you need to do is take some of that energy and use it in some other ways in addition to to sexuality you see it's a very healthy sign it means you're alive you know you got a lot of Life Force so you're trying to give it away nice of you such a guy now if you're interested in developing the sidas the occult Powers all that stuff uh you have to be a little more conservative unless you're very very far along because there is a certain drop of a type of cundalini when you have sex so if you're into developing the supernatural Powers then it's a good idea to be a little more temperate uh some occult teachers uh suggest celibacy I don't know but but in terms of Spiritual Development meditative development Enlightenment and so on it's not a big deal whether you have sex or not the question is more uh who you have sex with and what their energy is doing to you because if you're having sex with someone who's not on the same frequency that you're on it can be very problematic because the greatest transfer karmic transfer occurs uh in aside from meditating with someone in sex with someone particularly for women because women tend to open themselves up more and just because their subtle physical bodies are so much more sensitive they pick up the total energy of the man they have sex with and so it's a real problem because a lot of men uh hate women subconsciously or just are very confused about them or afraid of their power or want to suppress them or you know the usual and so when they have sex uh with someone what happens is on the one hand they're having a good time or they're trying to do this or perform or whatever you know it's said Sullivan but but gotcha but the problem is that it's not Ed Sullivan and that's somebody and you're affecting their attention level incredibly and if you have a lot of problems inside yourself they transfer so it's it's good to be selective and to love a whole lot and not be attached it's it's a it's a very delicate balance and the further along you go the more delicate the balance it's the razor's Edge that we walk in advanced self-discovery so it's what I'm trying to say is it isn't important what you do or what you don't do it's how and by how I don't mean Kamas Sutra position number 95 you know hanging from one foot from a large building you know while chanting the Mantra of Wham but rather uh the quality of your love that's that's what I mean the quality of your attention your ability to maintain a sense of love and giving without any ownership without any possessiveness without any jealousy without any greed uh a sense of the total sensitivity of this universe that you're colliding with and trying to be perfect for that Universe without any egotism or vanity whatsoever it's the it's a very fine line and if you don't do that if you're not able to do that exactly correctly it comes back on you naturally it's a very quick Karma and your level of attention drops and afterwards you don't get along you don't feel so good your energy is down that's because you didn't it was not a Transcendent experience because you didn't care enough and give enough and you got lazy sloppy and selfish like most people but it doesn't have to be that way you know you could be one in a billion why not what the heck it's worth taking a shot at you know practice keep me informed uh oh one or two more then we have to meditate sis another one yes oh yeah you wrap them up with your second attention yeah most most people do right it's a habit yeah uh yeah women are very good at it particularly well men do it too in a different way but women have really developed it as an art they've had to to survive you understand you know the world the way men have designed it if you can't use that power I what else have you got right you know so but it the problem with it is it limits you it it puts you into a um a control situation and even though you can control someone it protects you in a certain extent still you're in a controlling sit situation in Duality it brings you down so what you really need to do it's it's I would suggest U is just first of all watch how much you do it it's fascinating because we're we're brought up and educated to do it you know it's it's and then you need to be around people who aren't like that I mean people who have decided that there's another way to lead their life and it's not necessary to wrap people up the reason you're doing it is because you don't have enough power if you had enough power if you could unlock your own personal power you wouldn't need to control others so you need to be around people who've learned there's another way of leading life and if you can find people like that who feel good to you and you're around them and that's how they lead their lives you'll find that it's catching it's it's a happy disease to get and that's uh you don't have to control people and you can and you can easily stop them from controlling you but you have to be able to see to do that you have to develop your psychic abilities and increase your personal power and you know all the usual things but yeah it can be done but I I don't have a simple technique for you it's a way of life some of us lead lives like that and we have a good time one more uhhuh H how do you okay how do you let's say you're going to meditate if you're very new to meditation you're just starting I suggest that you have a watch or a clock by you and set a minimum amount of time chances are what you're going to be doing is referring to it occasionally because after five minutes you're going to say I have to sit here longer see so you said 15 minutes let's say as a minimum you're going to sit there no matter what you think songs are running through your head you're thinking a million things you never would think okay this is never going to work doesn't matter sit there do the 15 minutes after that you'll find after a few weeks that it becomes very comfortable and suddenly you'll look down at the watch and 20 minutes have gone by or 25 so what you want to do is sit as long as it feels good once youve reached a minimum time and you've just gotten used to that then just sit as long as it feels good sometimes it's fun to set little hurdles for yourself it it depends there different ways to go about this there's not one right way some people like to set hurdles so then they'll try half an hour is a minimum time see other people would feel uptight if they did that it wouldn't be a natural flow for them so maybe it's better then just to see how long you sit when it stops feeling good you'll just find yourself stopping sometimes you'll start out you might meditate in the Heart Center or in one of these various methods that you know that I'll show you or others I'll show you another night and or that you've learned elsewhere and you meditate and for 15 or 20 minutes it's wonderful then suddenly you'll feel your Consciousness logging back too much on the physical the thing to do is then maybe do a different technique for a few minutes and what you're doing when you do that is bringing Kundalini through and then you're writing that Kundalini for a while a time comes when you don't have to use meditation techniques anymore you just sit down in your non-existence itself so as far as time is concerned just as long as it feels really good once you've reached the point where you're past the minimum time good we're going to do one more meditation technique to close it out here and this one will be the most powerful so please listen carefully this one's a little complicated okay so I need your second attention here what I would like you to do in in a minute is to sit up straight again and for the first couple minutes of the meditation I'd like you to focus right around the back of the neck there's a chakra that a lot of people don't know about okay most people are aware of the basic seven or the ones in the hands or the feet but there's some other uh more hidden energy centers in the subtle physical body so why around the back of the neck okay it's just just kind of oh around the top of the neck and put your hand back there just for a second just feel that area back there feel your neck sort of and come up just about to the top of it where you're connecting with a head never thought of it that way did you good thing huh yeah right around there okay that's where you're going to be focusing to start with what I'd like you to do is to start focusing your attention right there and then take that energy and feel that it's going to transmit from there in two lines to your hands I don't want you to move your hands do anything with your hands just put them in a comfortable position you might put them on your lap some people hold them like this or just any way you want but just feel that two lines of energy are going to move out from here to your hands and when they hit H your hands you'll kind of feel a a warming sensation and then from the hands we're going to bounce that energy right back to the heart center and ground it we're taking a very occulter very mystical energy and we're shooting it through then we're going to bring it into the psychic being and it's done in waves like we did before so we're going to start with the energy here and then just feel it pulsing towards your hands you can visualize lines of light if if you like or not just feel it going there doesn't matter whether it travels in a straight line or through your arms whatever it gets there just feel the energy going there and it's going right to the very center of the palms and then it's going to bounce back okay this is a more advanced technique now so it's a little stronger and then it's going to bounce back okay and go right into the Heart Center so it's just out and back out and back just do that in a rhythmic way for just a couple minutes and then stop let go go with the music then open your eyes a little bit and watch me meditate just observe without looking too hard you don't want to focus too sharply just kind of you want to you're not just watching me the body but you're watching the energy Fields here you're relaxing your eyes not looking too sharply gazing and just watching you're letting go then you might try closing your eyes again opening them you know whatever is comfortable for you so you're going to start by focusing your attention back here for a few moments and then just feel this energy moving into your hands any way you want to as long as it gets there and then you're going to feel it coming back from the hands right into the heart right into the psychic Center and then it just dissolves it radiates through your whole being there what we're doing is taking an occult energy bringing it into a place it's like an amplifier it's amplifying in the chakras in the hands and then we are neutralizing it and spreading it through the being and again the hands can be in any position it doesn't matter the energy flows and that would be good so please sit up straight and close your eyes for a moment and focus around the back of the neck to start out with and let us begin what e what the bra a oh n he h he he I oh in oh you oh I could you
